Getting suspend to ram to work on an Epox 8RGA+

[Guest]

I can not seem to get suspend-to-ram to work on my system (Epox 8RGA+
with a Barton 2500+). It seems to suspend correctly but when it wakes
up the screen stays blank. This is with both Windows 98 SE and Windows
XP Home (I just installed XP).

How can I get suspend-to-ram to work on my system? Thank you in advance
for all replies.

I just heard a TV commercial about an automobile that has a rear
entertainment system. I immediately wondered exactly how would an
automobile entertain ones rear and would it be safe to drive while
ones rear was being entertained.

Hi,

Sometimes, it simply won't work. The suspend to ram, or hibernate function,
requires driver support from *all* components to run properly. Frequently,
with desktop units, this is not possible. The solution may be to reduce the
power-down state, but then again the solution may be to not use this
function at all. The fact that it doesn't work under either OS is a pretty
strong indication that this is a hardware issue, and it may simply end at
that.
